Starting Out

Hello All!
Here's where I'll be writing for the next couple of months about Semester At Sea, this great experience where I'll be able to visit different countries in the world and be able to experience all sorts of cultures! I'm an Anthropology Major and History Minor so this is the perfect experience for me :) and if you can't tell by the exclamations already, I'm extremely excited :)

So I've read some of the other blogs out there and to be honest I'm freaking out because it seems as if there's so much to do in preparation for this trip of a lifetime. We have so much paperwork to figure out and to send in like all the travel visas etc.

Also, a lot of you are planning the trips outside of SAS, which is smart but I'm also thinking that I want to stay with the ship, I'm not very spontaneous in that way haha. For example, the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall are both things I really want to do, however, I'm not so sure that going away from the ship is so smart. What if we're running behind or something and miss the ship? I know it's cheaper to do it apart from the ship, but I'm kind of a wuss and like to be on a tour. So, hopefully I'll be able to get accepted for their excursions :)

I'm also really excited to meet all of these awesome looking people! Everyone sounds so friendly and into the experience that I cannot wait to get this show on the road! I found out that I'm on Deck 2 Outside, so that should be exciting! At least I have a porthole to look outside of.

As far as packing goes I'm in a quandary because I have so many clothes I'd like to bring, but I think they let you only bring 2 suitcases which could be a slight issue for me haha. Also, does anyone know if we're supposed to bring a laptop or if we just use the computers on the ship?

Ahhhh! SO MUCH TO DO SO LITTLE TIME!! :)
